[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t marry this prima Donna. [/quote]

I don't think the partner is a prima Donna if they're paying OP's way through vacations and other expenses.  They just want some fair play.

OP admits their lifestyle is significantly nicer because of this person's income.  Are they willing to give that up?[/quote]

He’s taking her using her travel points as granted. As if there is no monetary value while in fact some points are worth a lot. I’m a long term member of homeexchange - each point can be $1.5-2.5 if you convert into nightly cost at comparable properties. 
His partner can take her kids and friends to enjoy the lifestyle on these points.

I personally see no value in such a man when she arranges free accommodations he can’t even organize a travel program and restaurants ? WTF

Go get a side gig, dude . Or date nurses or teachers not heiress from Martha Vinyard [/quote]

Can you leave your children points? If not, no, it’s on the same playing field as cash. I wonder if she’s like the restaurant poster and has some serious gender expectations here that she won’t say flat out. That she must be courted. Yes, yes you haven’t revealed the genders but it’s clear the higher earning partner is a woman. [/quote]

OP is saving big time on his travel budget thanks to her points. It just irks him that she’s able to live off interest and he has to spend the current income on his expenses (which he would have done in higher rate anyways, if he wasn’t with her and dated a less fortunate woman). He keeps counting her estate as it bothers his kids have lower lifestyle, and he wants a woman nearly fully fund his lifestyle. That won’t “fly” with most women 
No decent man cares for restaurant checks. He can offer her travel camping though if he thinks that would help achieving parity [/quote]

I’m a woman and it would never fly with me if an SO thought spending points was the same as my spending cash. Difference is that I’m not as trapped by gender roles as you are.[/quote]

Honestly your partner shouldn’t even disclose to you how they made a reservation. I wouldn’t care. I’m divorced and as married we traveled on my exH points a lot. Now I spend thousands on travel so I do appreciate the hard work he put in accumulating these points, - they were accomplished because of  his exhausting work schedule. 
Now I work more and I spend more.

OP is ungrateful

DP. We tons of point due to a credit card too. Not hard work.[/quote]
